Police in Bangkok yesterday arrested a man who had in his possession six roasted fetuses aged two to seven months. It was unclear how they were initially obtained.

"We have to send the bodies for forensic test to identify whether they were foetuses, removed illegally by abortion, or corpses of babies," said Lt. Col. Kittima Thongchai, who busted Chow Hok Kuen in the city's Chinatown district.
